What do you mean by “backed” here? I think I’m misunderstanding but I thought (and a short google seems to confirm) that currency A being backed by currency B means the value of A is fixed at a certain amount of currency B, and there is some organisation “backing” this with reserves.

Not trying to shill/defend crypto, just confused on terminology :)

Others have given the rap beef context, but nobody has mentioned why a blood would have been on stage or why that was significant. At the end of the concert, Kendrick got a bunch of people from a bunch of LA gangs on stage and made a big show of unity.

TMZ article - mainly as a source, the article itself isn’t fantastic

Scanners have gotten better recently, meaning they can tell the difference between water and explosives, but these restrictions weren’t pulled out of thin air like many others.

There was a thwarted terrorist plot to use drink bottles to hold explosives.

Can confirm I’ve seen these on British supermarket shelves

It’s not just the media who uses this term. According to this study which I’ve had a very brief skim of, the term “hallucination” was used in literature as early as 2000, and in Table 1, you can see hundreds of studies from various databases which they then go on to analyse the use of “hallucination” in.

It’s worth saying that this study is focused on showing how vague the term is, and how many different and conflicting definitions of “hallucination” there are in the literature, so I for sure agree it’s a confusing term. Just it is used by researchers as well as laypeople.

Some Brits, especially young ones, are t-flapping as well now

Other comments seem not to mention the Real Debrid bit, so I’ll focus on that here:

Personally, I use my preferred debrid service to reduce the amount of stuff I need to store. You can mount the files you’ve got saved in your debrid using rclone with the webDAV creds that Real Debrid gives you.

You should probably use rogerfar’s rdt-client, even if you only use real Debrid to download torrents without using your own ip. It implements the qBittorrent API so you can point *arts at it as a download client. It’s got a couple of modes, so you can either have the files downloaded or symlinked from the mount discussed above.

Zerg from DebridMediaManager is something I've heard good things about, but i haven't been able to try it as its source-available for a fee, which i disagree with.

And incidentally, this is likely coming to Jellyfin 10.9 through endrl's mediasegments PR

My local MP came around yesterday to brag that he and the local Tory councillor have made plans to fix a pothole nearby.

The bar is so low it’s below the floor.

Slightly confused by your last point, about the org itself, could you expand?

The Organisation? No, it’s not paid work.

This seems to imply to me that the organisation could never be “hurt” because it’s volunteer run, which I doubt is what you were saying.

I don’t think people hate discord as a host for some communities, but there definitely is a growing rejection of it among FOSS contributors.

It sucks as a place to store knowledge. The search sucks, it’s not indexable by search engines, and requires an account to use. As another commenter on this post said, it combines the worst parts of IRC and webforums.

There are better ways to organise a FOSS project, and people are unhappy that some projects still choose discord.
